C2R 2025 Course Programme
The Climb 2 Recovery programme delivers activity all year-round, throughout the UK and beyond, providing regular opportunities for adventure, to catch up and have a laugh with friends, to learn some skills and get active outdoors.
Our programme is progressive and supports a diverse community of ability and aspiration - from those who have never climbed before through to increasingly experienced Alpine and high-altitude mountaineers. Importantly though, we have no expectations and there is no obligation for a member to do, be or achieve anything - for some climbing from sunrise to sunset is great, for others just one or two climbs a day is great; either option and everything in-between works for us, we just want you to have fun!
All members begin their Climb 2 Recovery journey via one of our three 4-day Learn to Climb courses in the Peak District each year, thereafter progressive and increasingly advanced courses and opportunities become available - from the Learn to Lead, to Learn to Multi-Pitch, Alpine Climbing, Winter Mountaineering and expeditions. If progression and more advanced courses aren’t a priority for you at the moment - that’s fine, you can always repeat the courses you have attended or attend a course to climb independently.
Below is the C2R Course Pathway, also all of our upcoming courses - if you are interested in joining us then please get in touch!
